Zadun Ritz Carlton Reserve Airport Transfer | From $84 USD

The drive from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) to Zadún covers roughly 17 km: south on Highway 1 through San José del Cabo, then east onto the Puerto Los Cabos access road toward Boulevard Mar de Cortez and the community gate. Outside of peak hours expect a 25-30 min ride. From 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm — when most US and Canada flights land — traffic through San José del Cabo can stretch the drive to 35-40 min. Our drivers track your flight in real time and plan the route around live traffic, so the pickup time moves with your aircraft rather than with your original itinerary.

• Private vehicle — no shared stops, no waiting for other travelers at the curb.
• English-speaking driver in white-shirt embroidered uniform.
• Flight tracking — your driver adjusts the pickup time if you are delayed.
• Bottled water and child seats on request (note it in the booking).
• Tolls, taxes, and a meet-and-greet at Shaded Area #3 outside SJD arrivals.
• Direct drop-off at the Zadún arrival pavilion, already cleared at the Puerto Los Cabos gate.

Three vehicle categories cover every party size headed to the Reserve. All-inclusive pricing — what you see at checkout is what you pay, with no fuel surcharge, no toll add-on, and no per-bag fee.

For Zadún the gate narrows the options more than price does. Shared shuttles are usually the cheapest way into most Cabos zones on a per-person basis, but they hold no standing arrangement with any gated community in Los Cabos — the shuttle company cannot clear your name with the guard, so it is not a realistic option for a Puerto Los Cabos reservation. The Zone 2 taxi sindicato rate ($70-90) sits close to our $84 flat price, but it is cash-only with no flight-delay coverage and no guarantee the driver already has your name staged at the gate. A rental car makes sense if you plan to explore San José del Cabo, the East Cape, or the Sierra de la Laguna independently; for a straight airport-to-Reserve run it adds insurance cost and puts a jet-lagged traveler behind the wheel for the gate check-in.

Clear immigration and baggage claim, then walk past the timeshare and taxi desks in the arrivals hall to Shaded Area #3 outside Terminal 1. Your host is holding a board with our logo and your name. From there it is a single, uninterrupted ride: Highway 1 south, the Puerto Los Cabos access road, the community gate (already staged with your name), and then Boulevard Mar de Cortez to the Zadún arrival pavilion, where the resort team takes over the luggage.

Zadún Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is the brand’s Reserve-tier property on Boulevard Mar de Cortez, inside the Puerto Los Cabos community in San José del Cabo. It has 113 rooms, suites and villas, the Sensei at Zadún wellbeing program and spa, and restaurants including El Barrio; it holds a Michelin 2 Keys distinction (2024) and a Green Key sustainability certification. The setting is the quiet, Sea of Cortés side of Los Cabos — swimmable water and a slower stretch of coast, roughly 10 minutes past downtown San José del Cabo and its Thursday Art Walk, rather than the nightlife end of Cabo San Lucas some 45 minutes west.

Zadún is easy to confuse with the beachfront Zona Hotelera properties closer to downtown San José del Cabo — Hyatt Ziva, JW Marriott, Viceroy — because all of them are marketed under the same "San José del Cabo" tourist area. Zadún sits past that strip, inside the separately gated Puerto Los Cabos community alongside Secrets Puerto Los Cabos and Hotel El Ganzo, which is why its transfer runs a little longer (25-30 min versus 15-20 min for Hotel Row) and clears a community gate the beachfront hotels do not have. If your confirmation only says "San José del Cabo" without Zadún, Secrets, or El Ganzo named, check the San José del Cabo and Puerto Los Cabos zone pages linked below for the distance-and-price breakdown of each area before you book.

Returns from Puerto Los Cabos normally leave the resort three hours before departure: 25-30 minutes of driving, plus the international check-in and security window at SJD Terminal 1, plus a margin for the San José del Cabo bottleneck if your flight leaves in the late morning. Booked as a round trip, the return is already scheduled and discounted 10%; booked separately, message us on WhatsApp 24 hours before checkout and we price and confirm it on the spot.
